Sugar Sachet Packaging Machine
Product Description
A Sugar Sachet Packaging Machine is an automatic or semi-automatic packaging system designed to fill and seal precise quantities of granulated sugar into small sachets or pouches, usually made from laminated film. It ensures accurate dosing, hygienic packaging, high-speed production, and aesthetic appearance of the sachets, making it ideal for foodservice and retail applications.
How It’s Made – Manufacturing Process
1. Design & Engineering
-
Developed using CAD/CAM software to suit specific pouch formats like 3-side seal, 4-side seal, or stick packs.
-
Designed to handle free-flowing powders and granules like sugar.
2. Frame & Body Construction
-
Built using SS304 or SS316 stainless steel for hygienic and corrosion-resistant operation.
-
Laser-cut parts are assembled using TIG welding for smooth and durable construction.
3. Filling System Integration
-
Equipped with volumetric cup filler or auger filler, depending on sugar flow characteristics.
-
Adjustable dosers allow precision in weight (typically 1g to 10g per sachet).
4. Film Handling Mechanism
-
Roll of laminated film (PET/PE, paper/PE, etc.) is mounted on an unwind unit.
-
Film passes through forming collars that shape it into the desired sachet format.
5. Sealing & Cutting Units
-
Heat-sealing jaws seal the sachet on all sides using temperature-controlled heaters.
-
Pneumatic or servo-based cutters slice the individual sachets with clean edges.
6. Control System & Automation
-
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI (Touch Screen Interface) are installed for:
Weight accuracy
-
Batch tracking
-
Error alerts
7. Testing & Calibration
-
Each unit is tested for:
Seal strength
-
Film compatibility
-
Production speed
